Very cool to see this! I remember that box from my childhood. Recall pulling a Cobb and Hornsby, at the time having no idea who they were (I was about 9yo at the time). At that age I was more interested in the pastries than the cards but for some reason they made a strong impression. I saved them though and started collecting Topps not long after.

On to some recent additions. I don't specifically pursue graded for the 52T, it just turned out that way this time around...
